As we enjoyed our coffee, a man called the waiter and placed his order, “Two cups of coffee, one on the wall.” We got interested and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter attached a piece of paper to the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee.” Similar occasions took place twice while we were there. It seemed that this gesture was quite normal at this place. However, it was something unique and confusing for us.After a few days, when we again enjoyed coffee there, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard or the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was evident from his looks. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.Now it was no surprise for us; the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by people in this town moved us to tears.Coffee is not a necessity. However, the point is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who also appreciate that specific blessing but cannot afford.Note the waiter, who gets the communication going between the affording and the needy with a smile on his face. Think about the man in need: he enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-dignity; he has a free cup of coffee without asking or knowing about who has given this cup of coffee to him; he only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffee and left. Besides, we need to remember the role played by the wall that reflects the generosity and care of people in this town.24. What made the author interested as well as confused?A. The waiters making normal gestures.B. Customers buying coffee for the needy.C. The waiters attaching coffee orders on the wall.D. Customers paying for coffee and having it put on the wall.25. The author thought the man in need was _.A. not properly dressedB. obviously poorC. not right to leave without payingD. strange to order coffee from the wall26. In the authors opinion, coffee is _.A. necessary in our lifeB. respect shown for the needyC. a blessing some cant affordD. a blessing everyone should have27. The passage is mainly concerned about _.A. learning from the waiterB. buying coffee for othersC. caring more about the people in needD. analyzing the characters in the coffee shopCNorman Garmezy, a development psychologist at the University of Minnesota, met thousands of children in his four decades of research. A nine-year-old boy in particular stuck with him. He has an alcoholic mother and an absent father. But each day he would walk into school with a smile on his face. He wanted to make sure that no one would feel pity for him and no one would know his mothers incompetence. The boy exhibited a quality Germezy identified as “resilience”.Resilience presents a challenge for psychologists. Its only when theyre faced with obstacles, stress, and other environmental threats that resilience, or the lack of it, comes out. Some give in and some conquer.Garmezys work opened the door to the study of the elements that could enable an individuals success despite the challenges they faced. His research indicated that some elements had to do with luck, but quite large set of elements was psychological, and had to do with how the children responded to the environment. The resilient children had what psychologists call an “internal lens of control(内控点)”. They believed that they, and not their circumstances, affected their achievements. The resilient children saw themselves as the arrangers of their own fates.Ceorge Bonanno has been studying resilience for years at Columbia Universitys Teachers College. He found that some people are far better than others at dealing with adversity. This difference might come from perception(认知) whether they think of an event as painful, or as an opportunity to learn and grow. Stressful or traumatic events themselves dont have much predictive power when it comes to life outcomes. “Exposure to potentially traumatic events does not predict later functioning,” Bonanno said. “Its only predictive if theres a negative response.” In other words, living through adversity doesnt guarantee that youll suffer going forward.The good news is that positive perception can be taught. “We can make ourselves more or less easily hurt by how we think about things,” Bonanno said. In research at Columbia, the neuroscientist Kevin Ochsner has shown that teaching people to think of adversity in different ways changes how they experience and28. According to the passage, which of the following best explains the individuals ability “resilience”?A. To think critically. B. To decide ones own fate.C. To live a better life. D. To recover from misfortune.29. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Challenges. B. The resilient children.C. Elements. D. Internal focus of control.30. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Your positive perception may turn suffering around.B. Stressful events are more predictive than delightful events.C. Experiencing misfortune predicts that you will go on suffering.D. A negative response doesnt guarantee you will suffer all the time.31. What is the authors purpose of writing this passage?A. To teach people how to be resilient.B. To encourage people to live through adversity.C. To indicate peoples perception varies from each other.D. To compare different research findings about resilience.DAs life in cities worldwide becomes more expensive, urban designers are using modern technology to help citizens avoid traffic jams, and shorten the time needed for bus waiting and other things. Technology is also used to cut costly waste.In Santander, a Spanish port city, parking is easy to find. As one car drives away, an underground sensor shows that a parking space is now free. 400 sensors send messages to signs on streets, and GPS devices direct drivers to the nearest available parking spaces, reducing traffic jams. Trash is collected only when the bins are full and bus stop signs show exactly when the next bus is coming. The public parks are watered only the soil gets dry. All this is made possible by 20,000 sensors installed on buildings, street posts and even buses. They are part of the “smart city” project, launched by the University of Cantabria seven years ago.University researchers like Luis Munoz regularly meet with locals to discuss how to make their city even smarter. “They propose when they have ideas and sometimes even develop by themselves. Here, we give them the opportunity to see these ideas happen in real life,” said Manoz. For example, the university helped a woman create an app that outlines the easiest route for walking with a baby stroller. Another provides information to residents about their water consumption and sends an alarm to their phone if there is a leak.The Santander smart project is attracting the attention of larger cities in Europe and elsewhere that are looking for smart solutions to urban problems.32. What is the life like in Santander?A. It is meaningful. B. It is full of freedom.C. It is likely to change fast. D. It is effective and convenient33. How can residents help Munozs job?A. By offering some original or fresh ideas.B. By showing him around the city.C. By installing sensors themselves.D. By using as little water as possible.34. What does the underlined word “Another” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. A university B. A phone C. An easy route D. An app35. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Worldwide Problem B. A Smart City ProjectC. A Creative Researcher D.

Obviously not. But, every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less. 38 It might sound like this strategy is too basic for grand life goals, but I beg to differ. The 2-Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia(惯性) of life. 39 I love the 2-Minute Rule because it embraces the idea that all sorts of good things happen once you get started.The most important part of any new habit is getting startednot just the first time, but each time. Its not about performance, its about consistently taking action.I cant guarantee whether or not the 2-Minute Rule will work for you. 40 Anyone can spare the next 120 seconds. Use this time to get one thing done. Go.A. And thats the purpose behind this little rule.B. I call this little strategy the “2-Minute Rule”.C. Heres what you need to know to stop procrastinating.D. But, I can guarantee that it will never work if you never try it.E. Once you start doing something, its easier to continue doing it.F. The goal is to make it easier for you to get started on the things you should be doing.G. Its surprising how many things we put off that we could get done in two minutes or less.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。When Hurricane Harvey hit Texas, Readers Digest wrote about impressive rescues.
